A tragedy no school ever expects — and the hard lessons we learned too late.
In this episode of Thriving in Ambiguity, I share the real story behind a crisis at Howard High School that changed everything. As the IT Director at the time, I thought we were ready. We weren’t. And today, I’m revealing what we got wrong — and what you must get right before it’s too late.
In this episode:
- Why the best technology isn’t enough without real-world training
- How social media misinformation made everything worse
- Critical actions to take before an emergency strikes
- How to prepare your leadership, IT, and PR teams for a true crisis
If you’re a school leader, IT director, or anyone responsible for student safety, these lessons could save lives — and careers.
Don’t wait for tragedy. Prepare today.
